SYRINGE HOLDER.

Application filed April 7, 1927. Serial No. 181,824.

- ready. attachment to a radio cabinet or any other appropriate supportand being calculated to receive and hold any drops of electrolytic acidthat may gravitate from a battery hydrometer syringe, and therebyprevent the acid from injuring furniture, rugs and the like.

To the attainment of the foregoing, the invention consists in theimprovement as hereinafter described and definitely claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification Figure1 'is a view showing the preferred embodiment of my invention in sideelevation and also showing a battery hydrometer syringe as properlyarranged in the holder so that the cup of the holder will receive anyacid that drips from the syringe.

Figure 2 is a perspective of the holder, per se.

Similar numerals ofreference designate corresponding parts in both viewsof the drawing.

The battery hydrometer syringe illustrated is of the ordinary well knownconstruction and has a bulb 1 and also has a disof the said will beunderstood as compr sing upper and lower body sections 4 and 5, theupper section 4 being provided with inturned flanges 6, and the upperportion of the section 5 being arranged to slide, longitudinally in andbetween the said flanges 6 so that the body sections 4 and 5 will beretained in alinement with each other and also so that the body may beincreased or diminished in length as occasion demands to fit it tosyringes of different lengths. It will also be noted that the section 4is apertured at 7 and the section 5 is apertured at 8 so that they maybe attached to a wall of a radio cabinet or to any other appropriatesupport whereupon it will be readily understood the sections 4 and 5will be fixed with respect to each other.

Adjacent to its upper end, the body section 4 is provided with a springclip 9 adapted to embrace and retain the bulb 1 of the syringe after themanner shown in Figure 1. The body section 5 is provided at 10 with anopen and preferably circular retainer, the said retainer being designedto receive and surround the nozzle 2 of the syringe so as to preventlateral displacement of the nozzle end of the syringe.

At its lower end the section 5 is provided with ahorizontally disposedcup 11, preferably integral with the body section 5 and having for itspurpose to catch and retain any drops of electrolytic acid that maygravitate from the nozzle 2 of the syringe. The capacity of the cup 11will be appreciated as adequate when it is stated that only one or twodrops of acid fall after each use of the syringe, and the sameevaporates before it is necessary to again use the hydrometer syringe.

It will be appreciated from the foregoing that my novel holder is simpleand inexpensive in construction, is susceptible of ready adjustment asto length, and is adapted to be readily secured in its adjusted state byscrews 12' or other suitable means to an appropriate support; and itwill also be appreciated that my novel holder is etficient,

in performing the specific function ascribed to it, and that when thesyringe is properly placed .in the holder, not only will the syringe beretained in position for convenient use, but any drops of acid that mayexude from the syringe willbe caught and held and effectively preventedfrom injuring furniture, carpets, rugs, or the clothing of the party whoseeks to use the syringe.

I have specifically described the referred embodiment of my invention inor er to impart a full, clear, and exact understanding of the saidembodiment. I do not desire, however, to be understood as limiting myself to the precise construction disclosed, my invention being definedby my appended claim within the scope of which modifications may be madewithout departure from my invention.

Having thus described the invention, what I claim as new is A holder forthe purpose described, comprising body sections, one section beingflanged and the other being telescopically arranged in the flangedsection, whereby the body may be increased or diminished in length, andone section of the body being equ pped at its lower end with a (1r?) cupa clip on the upper section of the b0 an adapted to receive and hold thebulb of a syringe, and an open retainer carried by the other bodysection and adapted to receive the nozzle of a syringe and to retain thesyringe in such position that any drippin s from said nozzle will bedisposed in am cup. v

In testimony whereof I aflix m si nature.
